okay making my first time watch of Kong: Skull Island tweets into a thread for easy muting

okay that was actually precious and sad "how much do you love your momma"

holy shit this is a beautiful film

well. now i'm kicking myself for not watching this earlier this is just good filmmaking

bless the costume designer

i love these soldiers - this is good side character content

ohkay

John Goodman is GOOOOOD in this and i somehow have greater appreciation for Monarch in King of the Monsters

if i had to tag myself as a character in Skull Island I'm the grad student who just wrote a paper about monsters and is now in this mess

10/10 would pet

holy hell

if you told me to watch Skull Island any time in the years since it released I apologize for ignoring you

i would like to know if Samuel L requested to shoot a kaiju in the face in his contract

HNGH

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS MOVIE'S CAST LIST!??!!?!?!?

I like knowing that somewhere out there is an animator who's resume says: designed Kong's ass

BUT ALSO Kong got hurt from a helicopter and i'm supposed to believe he can withstand atomic breath!?

small thing but nice thing - cognitive scientists understand sentience by having a sense of self - which is often gauged by response to mirrored images of one's body. this is goooood

H N G H *screeching*

"i call them skull crawlers"

"why"

"cause it sounds neat"

this is really good omfg

such good creature design

oh look, it me

oh no a helicopter fell on the kaiju cow

i'm sad now

gorgeous

"sometimes an enemy doesn't exist until you go looking for one"

well this is pretty good writing too

why am i attracked to the soldier with a horrible southern accent

what am i?

15/10 would pet

lol that's what he gets for hurting that precious stick baby

I -

I swear i'm in it for the kaiju - i SWEAR

oh no not the Latino

the visuals are just good

I was gonna write reviews today but instead i'm making this thread

this is both a thirst post and appreciation for the use of color in this film post

i appreciate everything about this film

i love a man

the way this film just unceremoniously killed a lead character who is responsible for bringing EVERYONE to Skull Island

*chef's kiss*

AHHHH

OMFG

again. i am sorry to everyone who told me to watch this movie and who i ignored

tanned dirty and sweaty is the best look for people with blue eyes omfg

I am not a Kong person but damn this movie slaps and the visuals are stunning

yeah i'm team kong on this one

Kong is writhing in pain in a lake of fire and y'all want me to believe he is a match for Godzilla?

gtfoh

there is something very satifying of watching kaiju step on people

Apparently Samuel L has more power than Godzilla if Skull Island holds lmao

"bitch please" was literally what i was thinking when camera lady decided to jump in lmao

"yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssss"

this and the scene from inside the gas mask are sooo good

1. i love this shot
2. i love this actor
3. LOL they said NAH to a hero's death

i love nerds with guns and i love this character so much

the framing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OKAY BUT KONG GOT A WHIP!?

well the battle ax makes sense now lmao

because there is no stronger romantic connection than a trauma bond

okay but i ship them and want more about them please

okay this is wholesome

Okay I love this and will take a series just on the rise of Monarch with these four

In summary

Skull Islands slaps
The creature design is excellent
The people don't detract from the kaiju
TOM HIDDLESTON
I am now even more hyped for GvK
